What to Wear When Skiing in Sun Valley

Jet-setting across the seven seas, or simply swapping neighborhood spots, What To Wear When is your weekly column for shopping inspiration.

Widely known as the first winter resort town in the U.S. (and the birthplace of the chairlift), Sun Valley, Idaho is something of an enclave for celebrities and renowned authors alike. After Ernest Hemingway famously penned For Whom the Bell Tolls in Suite 206 of the Sun Valley Lodge, Hollywood stars such as Gary Cooper, Lucille Ball, Clark Gable, and Marilyn Monroe flocked to the mountainous destination city. Thanks to its dry, powdery snow and beaming sun rays, the picturesque location has been a popular backdrop for iconic films like Bus Stop (1956), which stars Monroe, and Pale Rider (1985), featuring Clint Eastwood.

Whether you plan on cozying up to a steaming cup of hot cocoa or braving the notoriously difficult double-black-diamond slopes, prepare for your next snowy escape with CR's shopping guide to Sun Valley below.
